Bracket Projection – March 13 (Final – 2016)

Just some quick bullet points. The bracket may receive a few touch-ups throughout the day. (Updated 2:10…FINAL PROJECTION)

Kansas (Midwest) and UNC (East) have 1 seeds locked up. Oregon, Michigan State and Virginia are in contention for the final two spots. My feeling is that the Committee rewards Oregon in the West with the 1 seed. Then, Michigan State and Virginia could be flipped in the South depending on Sparty’s result today.

Memphis has a chance to be a bid felon today, which would make the next bullet point moot.

I have one spot that I am still considering, which is currently held by Michigan. I think it is really close between Michigan, Vanderbilt and San Diego State, though the Aztecs likely are hurt by the weakness of the Mountain West and the presence of mid-majors on the bubble that are ahead of them.

Does the Committee send a message to Temple and S. Carolina that you actually have to beat someone in the non-conference? They have done just this in the past.
